Jellyfin Discord Music Bot

Jellyfin Discord Music Bot is a Discord Bot for the Jellyfin Media Server!

Capabilities

and start playing you favourite Music

Interactive Play Message

When you start playing something you can easily controll the Bot with just clicking on the Buttons under the Play Message

Commands

Beware that you'll always need to add your prefix(default: ?) in front of the command.

Limitations

• No Playlist Repeat Mode.
• Multi Server support.
• Playing Video Content (if Discord ever adds this, I'll implement it into this Bot)

Getting Started

You'll need a Discord Application for this Bot to work, as you will host it yourself.

Generate an Api and bot here.

Click New Application.

The Name of the application will be the bot's name.

Go to the Bot tab.

Generate the bot, and grab the token. Also, recommend making the bot private.

Go to the OAuth2 page, click Bot Scope to get the url authorization link.

Authorize your room!

Next, join a voice channel and connect your bot with ?summon. This will connect your bot to the voice channel you're in and will create the device profile in Jellyfin.

From within Jellyfin, start playing content or from within Discord, use the bot commands to start enjoying music!

For official documentation to creating a bot.
